about

"A heavily bleached-out type of gothic folk" The Quietus
"Mysterious and Undefined" World Of Echo

Who Will You Love is the debut collaborative album from The Dengie Hundred with Gemma Blackshaw. In 2023, The Dengie Hundred co-produced with Japan Blues two albums for Demdike Stare’s DDS label, and released the solo album Tube on London’s Sagome imprint; their solo debut Brackenbank appeared on Ethbo in 2022, when they also contributed to World of Echo’s Thorn Valley compilation. Here, they collaborate with Gemma Blackshaw on an album of smudged dream pop.

Gemma’s vocals were recorded from home at night on an old iPhone. Who Will You Love surfaces dark, desiring songs on the passion and exhaustion of looking after others. Emerging in simple rounds that expand with layers of field recordings, synths and drum machines, the songs include lullabies for baby boys and men, enchantments of wary lovers and spells of protection for a daughter.

Moving between her children and her lover, the mother sings of the demands of daily intimacy (play with me, carry me, sing to me…) that echo through adult relationships too.

Flower Studies
by Blue Chemise

supported by 4 fans who also own “Who Will You Love”

The music appears fragile on the surface, but there is an unexpected strength to each of the Flower Studies. Each study has its own distinct character and the compositions presumably take their names from Braun’s set of images. Notable studies include the sombre melancholia of Gout Wort and the macabre uplift of Chrysanthemum no 1. Flower Studies gets under your skin, in the best possible way. freersounds
